What a jerk! Rubbing it in the face of all who fasted. I do appreciate your manipulation of the concept though.

As a fellow off-the-wagon Jew, I commend your choice of vittles. Hallo Berlin was my go-to today. Wolfed it down without spillage on my tie. Then somebody got “religious” on me. Gonna have to change this shirt now. Thanks for nothin’, BigFriedWalgreenHoagie.

Not to get “religious” on you since I’m aware this is a food blog. But since Zach brought it up, I’ll just throw in my 2 cents. For the non-Jews out there, The day of atonement, once a year the High Priest would go into the holiest part of the temple and shed blood over the altar to atone for the sins of the people. I’m personally a christian, so I believe Jesus became the Greater High Priest, who understood humanity (even our need to pig out) and shed his own blood, better than the blood of animals, to atone for the sins of everyone who put their trust in him. He didn’t do this for us to feel guilty, because in God’s eyes the blood of Jesus covers us and we are innocent and even righteous. It’s about faith in Jesus not our own works. Shrug, don’t want to stir up a religious debate, just wanted to provide a contrast Zach’s perspective.

You are a bad Jew Zach Brooks! God will doubly smite you for the shrimp, not to mention the fact you are gorging yourself on the day of atonement! I’ve been extra atoneing since my fatback and egg sandwich yesterday morning at 11 am! Goats has lots of sins to sweat out!
